In handmaids tale, child bearing women are sex slaves. They get forcably raped, repeatedly, untill they can no longer give birth, then when they are no longer fertile they get sent to irradiated fields to dig trenches. Women who oppose this order are hanged in front of everyone for all to see. This is propped up by a literal christofascist government, which has priests as government officials.

And you are saying the US has gotten worse than that?

This is not very far away from how adoption centers and surrogate agencies in the third world operate. Of course Handmaid's Tale is exaggerated for shock value. But it isn't far off from reality, with the exception that IRL it's outsourced to the third world. Ukraine for example is a quite popular place for surrogacy, since the women are white but conditions are poor enough that they do it to survive.
